Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed attic/third-storey rear roof alteration is of excessive height and fails to meet the anticipated outcomes for roof alterations under the County Development Plan.
- The clipped gable roof design does not harmonise with the character and form of the existing roof profile and would appear discordant when viewed from the streetscape.
- The development would set an undesirable precedent in the host environment and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
